A long time in the making, this was a set we both were incredibly excited about doing. Most of it is played on vinyl, a lot of cheeky bootlegs and some downright classics towards the end. The vibe on the floor during the set was absolutely electric. We hope you enjoy this as much as we had playing it

Inspiration is a weird and wonderful beast.
In June 2012, I packed my bags, sold all of my belongings, hung up my headphones and moved to London in search of something. I wanted create distance from what was similar, and proximity to the new and unknown.

DJing, for all intents and purposes had been put to bed. Since then I have travelled extensively, moved house just as frequently, and experienced the highs and lows that come with relocating to a new city. The past few months I have seen a few more lows than highs, and as the Winter in London continued to pull me further down, i found myself finding solace in music once again.
This mix was an incredibly cathartic experience for me. I put more time, thought and emotion into it than any I can ever remember. Each track was carefully selected. It explores some pretty dark spaces (as you'll hear) and taps into some of the music that helped me get through the past few months.

I'm not sure what the future will bring DJing wise, but I've thoroughly enjoyed putting this together and I hope you enjoy it.

Not sure about that Layo and Bushwacka! remix...hasn't really added/subtracted much, just made it 4x4...the original is so fucking goooooood I don't see why anyone would bother doing that? it evens uses the same drum patterns/fills at the breakdowns?

Anywho, dope track listing, listening!

Pete Gordon - Deep and Low

Slower tempo but still with balls, deephouse, slow-mo, futurehouse, nudeep, indie, nudisco, hints of progressive, whatever the fuck you want to call it, just good shit! Get on it

cheers mate, i brought it in about 32 bars too late which i was a bit shitty with, i'd played around with it before and the vocal kicked in right after the breakdown, was perfect but it still works though

Nick Warren played that L&B remix at Pacha last year and absolutely loved it!

it keeps that bass line and has a nice beat, and i like the fact it keeps the drum patters/fills, a really cool remix imo.

Why bother? because it means you can play it in a tech/prog set now (no way would i play the original in a set like this)

Sounds like something someone who "can't mix breaks" would say

It's not terrible, don't get me wrong, I just LOVE the original so much and don't see the point in, more or less, just editing it into a 4x4 version...it's not hard to mix breaks with 4x4, and the orignal vesion already had a huge proggy feel...I've played it in prog sets before and it works a treat.

hahahaha...I know! Good needle though...used to have some mates that couldn't mix breaks...I never really understood it, just listen to the 2/4 snare hits, keep them in time and the rest is in time...it may be a broken beat, but there's still a 4/4 in there

I was also forgetting how much tech house/prog has slowed down over the years...back when it was played at 128 - 130 BPM it was easy to mix that in, didn't have to pitch it down all that far...probably couldn't do it these days, shits too slow!

I remember at Danny Howells Brown Alley thinking "how good as this??" and seeing a bpm counter whatever that said 126 . I quite like the SloMo thing, but once it gets below 115 - 118 it's just boring .

Depends on the track, there's plenty of stuff at that tempo (and slower!) which isn't remotely "boring" to me, there's more than enough going on to keep it interesting, it's just slow...it might not be danceable to you at that speed, but that doesn't mean it's "boring" to listen to, or at all shit in terms of how well it's produced etc.

the fact i'm sometimes playing quite early in the main room now, it's gotta sit around that 110-115 mark. i find it hard coz most of it i find boring, but there's some good shit.

The slower you go, the better a DJ you gotta be imo, coz otherwise yeh it sounds fucking boring

That is true , but is amazing how much difference a couple of bpm can make. My opinion here is always from a dancing point of view. Listening can be really different. There is some wonderful slower music out there.

March 9th
Labour Day Weekend
Gorgeous 30deg+ day outside
Recipe for a hell of a show!

The set is broken into three 30min segments.
First up has a groovy disco feel kicking off with some Sade.
Second segment has some popular deep house sounds from Dusky, Henry Saiz & Lana Del Ray
Final segment gets a bit more clubby with a nod to Pryda at the end who was playing at Future Music Festival later that day.

Second:

Live Recording of my set from the Doesn't Matter Presents Terranova & Nu party held at New Guernica in Melbourne on the 28th Feb 2014

I played straight after Terranova to a really great crowd who went with me every step of the way. The energy in the room was fantastic, hopefully you can hear that through this recording. A few clunky mixes/transitions, but you get that sometimes! Starts of tech-housey then gets a bit tougher n harder towards the end. I don't normally get a chance to play this sort of stuff, so it was a real treat!
